We have a new polished aluminum chainguard. It mounts to the bottom bracket and to either the seat stay or chain stay. The finish is polished non-anodized. Overall length is 40cm from center of BB to tip. Max chain ring size is officially 48t, but a 50t just barely fits. $25.

Nice! Love the guard, and love more choices in non-tacky looking threadless stems. (I'm contemplating a new build just to go back to a threaded stem and it's more svelte look)

Would love to see someone offer a cheaper version of the threadless-stem-that-looks-threaded, similar to what Jonny Cycles and Pereira were doing on some custom builds - an integral cap flowing into the stem, single bolt on the front of the stem to attach to the steerer kind of thing. Although I can see how that'd be a pain from a manufacturers perspective.

Is it possible to order the mounting equipment for this chainguard separately? I have an old guard that's jury-rigged onto my girlfriends bike, and I feel like I could jury rig it a little better with these pieces!

having trouble securing this chainguard effectively. the mount on the chainstay slips and the guard ends up hitting the chain. am going to buy some cloth tape and put it round the area of the chainstay, but not sure this will solve the problem.
